Just saw this topic, worked for McDonalds for 6 month, from August 2007 January - February 2008.
Worst job i ever had, Ok i was one of the lucky ones because i knew the boss, but still... make steaks and sawdiches, salades, cleaning the lobby or washing the restaurant SUCKS hell.
I did work there because i had nothing to do on my vacation, so why not make some $$$ ? i got stuck there for 6 months and than stoped, main reason is that in France ou do around 34 - 37 hours of school per week, so you start at 8 and finish at 5 pretty much... and since i am graduating, (well was since i graduated

) i could not handle the 35hours school, 20 hours McD on weekends + my home works and studies... its was a WAY to much for me to handle, seriously... sucks !
So i stoped and i was free, i have to say it... if you can have an other job, go for it... i think i am more over the 'market place' guy, you know work at best buy, or target or what ever store you guys have in the US... Restaurants ? never again, i promised my self... never... ever !!! (but its a good experience when you want to see how Low you can go if you don't work at SCHOOOOOOl !!!!)

Good Luck in your experience ? (did they make you watch the 4 video tapes on how McD is not just a restaurant but a family ?
